Merry Christmas 2009

I wish everyone a very safe and merry Christmas day. I know it's almost over, but I wanted to make sure I sent out my holiday wishes to everyone. It's been a busy day.

The girls woke up around 8:15. Santa leaves their stockings on their doors so it keeps them busy so we can sleep in a little. We ask for 8:00 and they usually comply. My youngest was up first of course and she was sitting outside my door when I opened it. She was so excited.

We headed down and they opened their presents. They loved everything and we had to start opening things up right away. Why do they make it so hard to get toys out of the boxes? My fingers are killing me. What a mess. It was a good mess though. We sat for a little bit before it was time to start cooking.

There was a lot to do and I was worried about the timing, but everything was great in the end. We of course had too much food and way too many desserts. Can anyone say left overs? Oh well I have no intention of cooking tomorrow. Actually I have no intention of doing anything tomorrow.

I find myself sitting here smiling remembering the wonderful day I just had with my family. We had wonderful food and wonderful company. We enjoyed each other and isn't that what it's all about? I hope everyone out there had a great day as well. Now it's time to clean up and get some sleep.
